Not keen on the editing - it was a bit jumpy. However the underlying message, or the bits that I understood, seemed reasonable though I am not sure about the 9 separate nations in the USA bit. I have had a quick look and found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_N...th_America so it is not a new idea. I am not clear about the taxing of central banks.

Interesting article but it's not going to be Bitcoin that replaces the USD. There are many reasons why the article is wrong. First of all Bitcoin is slow. Then 21 million is not practical at all when it comes to replacing and existing currency. Third it's complicated. People can't figure out what is a public and private key and then there is the backup issue. Next there is the issue of transferring to a wrong account. The BTC will be gone for good. It will never be accepted by the worlds leaders. Right now there is many dead wallets because people did not do backup or they forgot their password. That is not possible with the current banking system. You can always get access to your money. I'm not defending the current system I'm just saying that crypto has to solve those simple yet complicated issues before it becomes mainstream.

Agreed - good post Carsten!
I just cannot see BTC being the new world currency - too many issues not least being 2 farmers in China using as much electricity as the whole of France. An exaggeration but a point...
